I should have been more specific, sorry.

I think this should be:

    Fixes: 8c4d92e82d500 ("net: stmmac: dwmac-qcom-ethqos: add support for emac4 on sa8775p platforms")

Which appears after 070246e4674b ("net: stmmac: Fix for mismatched host/device DMA address width").

Reason being that specifically Sagar's patch is indicating that for the
SoC's/compatibles that currently use emac_v4_0_0_data structure, the DMA
address width needs to be specified.

If we were modifying structs that were added prior to 070246e4674b then
I agree, but at least the change as is I think could indicate the above
Fixes.

Thanks,
Andrew
